Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.

Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.

Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)

As part of an update that was just pushed you can now enable "New Pixel Pulses" which will make a little circle for a bit surrounding any new pixels that get placed onto the canvas

You can use this to see where activity is happening on the canvas

This was originally made as a userscript by soda_cans and was adapted by me into the actual codebase

Enjoy :)

Currently on the canvas theres a bunch of blank space remaining. This is both due to people using the blank space as part of their design and due to some areas not having backgrounds yet!

(The green shade in the attached image is the blank canvas filter, you can find it in settings to see whats blank space and whats white)

As we head into the last part of canvas if you have any spare pixels you dont know what to do with you can drop some to help out some of the backgrounds

Some example locations:

Bi flag (around y=437)

Gray lattice (around 472, 461)

Whitespace in OSU (around 313, 265)

Void (around 709, 218)

Foliage (around 581, 493)

Yellow (around 74, 469)

Blue and Teal (around 271, 201)

White stripes in the upper flags (around 350, 46)

If you have any others post them in a comment

I collected together all of the templates I could find for different groups (originally did this to see where I can expand the programming.dev template out to but figured other people might be interested so they can see where there wont be as much conflict for space

Most of these are from the group finder thread. Some may be a pixel off but I tried to get things as close as possible (some of these are recreated since I couldnt get the source image from imgur or the source image is larger and was shrunk for the canvas with me not being able to replicate the shrink behaviour)

The factions included in here are:

• Australia
• Bronies
• Osu
• New Zealand
• Blahaj.Zone
• Programming.Dev
• Toast.ooo
• SquaredCircle
• Arecibo message
• Touhou
• SCP
• jlai.lu
• Anarchy chess
• Perchance
• Feddit.org

Ill try to do an updated post if needed with additional factions that post their templates close to when the event starts

And if theres anyone who wants to join up with the programming.dev template if youre tech related or if you want to ally feel free to reach out (you can find our groups in the group finder thread)

edit: moved SquaredCircle since they moved to not overlap with Osu

edit 2: added Lilou41's template

edit 3: updated osu and bronies to be more recent art

edit 4: added Lvxferre's template

edit 5: added touhou hijack

edit 6: added jlai lu

Information

Casette Beasts is a game made in Godot by Bytten Studio and published by Raw Fury. Joel Baylis is the composer for the soundtrack while Shelby Harvey did the vocals. The studio is primarily based out of the UK with their publisher being based in Sweden.

Its a creature collector where monsters are recorded to tapes and then you can take on their form or combine two forms together to use in turn based combat.

Your Inception is a bonus track that appears when fighting a secret boss in the game added in as a reference to Bytten Studio's previous game, Lenna's Inception.

Lyrics

Here you are
Faced with a text of blood
An honest chip on your shoulder
Won’t make a soldier
Out of anyone

Golden or draped in black
It takes just a splinter in the right frame of mind
To break all obstacles you might find

Can’t you
Feel your true calling
It’s endlessly falling
Driving you here
Despite your repentance
And best intentions
Nothing to fear
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

Now let’s jump into the mix
It feels tectonic
Can you hear the shift

Are you craving acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

If you learn to loosen your mind
You never know what you might find 'round here
The box looks smaller from the outside

Holes that they made will cave in
A dream of filling boots too big
In time you’ll see
How brave that you need to be

Can’t you
Feel your true calling
It’s endlessly falling
Driving you here
Despite your repentance
And best intentions
Nothing to fear
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

Now let’s jump into the mix
It feels tectonic
Can you hear the shift

Are you craving acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out

Silent sirens airing
Tremors causing cracks in the crown
They will never rest 'til
All that’s left are roots in the ground

Don’t you look so doubtful
All will be alright in the end
If you play your cards right
Keeping your hand close to your chest

Don’t you
Feel yourself crawling
No longer stalling
Destiny’s here

Time to find a new groove
Polish your best moves
And turn up this song
You’re leaving it all out to dry now

Stand out amongst it all
The quicker you get up
The harder they fall

Face the acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’re figuring it ou-ou-out

Finished up a recap site for lemmy similar to the recaps other sites like spotify, etc. have been doing!

Shows things like how many posts youve made, how many comments, your top posts of the year, the top communities you participate in, etc.

Theres a little role it assigns you and an image at the bottom that can be easily shared into the thread

Currently supports any instance running a lemmy compatible api (lemmy, pangora, etc.)

Lets you generate and then copy shields.io style badges to show different stats exposed by the api

For example for this community I can generate badges such as

Subscribers

Monthly Active Users

etc.

Theres a system built in that lets you customize how they look and then generate them again with those looks. Supports badges for instances, communities, or users

Link again just in case your software doesnt handle the first one
